    Yeah, I celebrated St. Patrick's day and I'm not even Irish

    I don't see what the big deal is. Christmas and Easter and all that have basically become secular holidays anyway.

    Tell him you see Easter as a way of celebrating life. Isn't that what atheism-ism about .. celebrating life, the here and now, the journey not the destination???


    I've always had a problem with Good Friday and Easter because I am Pagan and it is a fucking SPRING festival being celebrated at a time when we are in Autumn (Fall) here in Australia.... how fucked up is that?!?

    What's even more fucked up is that the main symbol of easter.. the rabbit is classified as a pest here in Australia and is BANNED (illegal) to have as a pet in QLD.. so ah.. yeah.. um..

    So Guess who will be having some chicken (yum!) tomorrow whilst also finally giving the "other" fireman (Fireman Sam) a test drive I'm going to make my own version of Good Friday.. hell yeah!

    The other day I was driving to work and listening to the radio, and since that took a lot of my concentration, I had like half-formed thoughts running around my brain. I heard a commercial for a local grocery chain talking about how we should get our Easter hams. And I thought to myself, "Hmmm...since Jews aren't supposed to eat pork, I wonder what they eat for Easter." This thought bounced around inside my head for a couple seconds before I said, "Oh, never mind."

    Lol... this is about as funny as my mum sending me a book on converting to Judaism for Easter.

    I love it.

    totally. anyone who is a zealot about ANY sort of belief and shoves it in other people's faces is more than annoying.

    you (the OP) sound very tolerant of other people's beliefs and open to exploring new ones. your husband does not. what about when your kid gets older, he might decide that he's not an athiest, or he might start wanting to explore another religion...is your husband going to react so miserably to that? if so that's not fair at all to your kid. everyone should have the right to freely explore various beliefs and discover what makes sense to them, without a zealot parent coming down on them.

    I think your husband is being an ass-hat. I'm Pagan, and I fully intend on letting my children partake in all the fun and festivities during any holiday. Its ment for fun a socializing for crap's sake. He needs to lighten up. Give him a shot of of whiskey to help loosen the bug in his ass.



    And yes...in the "spirit of Easter" that is a group of guys next to a pic of Jesus, doing the YMCA in my siggy!

    I am also atheist and I celebrate easter to a certain extent. I used to love getting easter baskets and candy and toys and hunting for eggs so why deny my child of all the fun just because a lot of people celebrate it for their religion. I plan on getting my daughter a basket and do something with her (she's only 1) and I also celebrate christmas cuz I love the joy of giving and receiving lol. It's for your kid, just because you don't believe the stories behind it doesn't mean you can't have fun.

    Your husband sounds like an unholier-than-thou atheist. I run into those occasionally, and it's annoying. One guy asked me why I capitalized, "Oh my God," or "Mein Gott in Himmel," as exclamations on my blog, or why I used them at all since I'm atheist. Because they're proper nouns, DUH. Also, I renounced my faith in front of a camera. While doing this, I told the crowd that I reserved the right to say stuff like, "God damn it, it's cold!" because I had no fear of using the Lord's name in vain, and it's so damn cathartic. They all agreed with me. I too don't get offended when people wish me happy holidays or say bless you when I sneeze.

    Most NORMAL Christians differentiate between the secular and religious aspects of the holidays. For instance, Halloween is about kids being creative and running around ahving fun in costumes, not about worshiping the devil. Christmas has the birth of Jesus part and the Santa Claus and gifts part. Easter has the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ part and the Easter bunny, eggs, and chocolate part.

    Most NORMAL Christians have no problem with both parts. One part is religious, the other part is fun.

    Then there are the fanatical right wing fundamentalists who won't let their kids wear a costume on Halloween, won't have anything to do with Santa or presents or a Christmas tree, and won't let their kids have an Easter basket, Easter eggs, or chocolate bunnies.

    Guess what? Your husband is acting exactly like a right wing fundamentalist Christian! LMAO, by not wanting to have anything at all to do with the secular Easter, he is having the exact same attitude of the most narrow minded Christians of all.

    Tell him that, and MAYBE he will change his mind. I wouldn't count on it, though. Fundamentalists, whether Christian, Muslim, or Atheist, KNOW they are right no matter what.

    I know Christians say Easter is their holiest day, and I can see why they say that. But the fact that it falls on a day when the moon is in a certain position sure smacks of paganism.

    A lot of religious traditions emanate from pre-religious customs and superstitions. Odd that they seem to ignore that.
    I loved going to strip clubs; I actually made some friends there. Now things are different for the clubs and for me. As a result I am not as happy.

    Customers are not entitled to grope, disrespect, or rob strippers. This is their job, not their hobby, and they all need income. Clubs are not just some erotic show for guys to view while drinking.

    The people way back incorporated some of the pagan stuff into Christianity to make the transition easier for people and probably also to appease...

    Thanks for all the well wishes! I took my son and we had a blast, he found 5 eggs.. It took him a while to grasp the concept of picking 1 up and putting it in the basket then moving on

    My husband and I got into the other night over this matter again and he was going to actually go with us on Saturday morning but we were running late and he didn't have time to get ready. I hope everybody else had a wonderful Easter as well!

    Easter is a whole season in the Christian faith... The day Easter itself is about the beleif that Jesus rose from the dead three days after being crucified...

    The calendar time of 'easter' was set to coincide with pagain holidays for reasons I already stated...

    If so, then why is Christmas 12/25/**** every year? I know you don't know and even maybe no one knows, but the question makes a valid point.

    It is not just Christianity that derives from paganism; I know that Judaism and Islam do as well
    I loved going to strip clubs; I actually made some friends there. Now things are different for the clubs and for me. As a result I am not as happy.

    C'mon. Giant kid eating bunny rabbits! Don't tell me Easter isn't a pagan holiday.



    "He will come in one of the pre-chosen forms. During the rectification of the Vuldrini, the traveler came as a large and moving Torg! Then, during the third reconciliation of the last of the McKetrick supplicants, they chose a new form for him: that of a giant Slor! Many Shuvs and Zuuls knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of the Slor that day, I can tell you!"
